This week we continue the "Interviews with Jarvis" series by bringing you part 1 of his in-depth conversation with the elusive Midnight mastermind Athenar.  In this discussion, Athenar digs deep into his musical history, describing his formative musical years, talking about his first albums and first concerts as an '80s kid in the Cleveland suburbs.  You'll hear how he moved from band to band, experimenting and growing as a musician along the way, until he finally stumbled upon the Midnight concept in 2003.  Along the way, Jarvis shares parallels from his own life and career, plus shared observations of the evolutionary musical journey that both men have navigated successfully.

You'll hear music and commentary from each of these bands, explaining why they were chosen for this festival and what Frost and Fireland means to them. Additional insights and context are provided by a fascinating conversation between Jarvis and Primordial / Dread Sovereign mainman Alan Averill, discussing the history of traditional metal in Ireland and how Frost and Fireland fits into that community. Listen in to understand why this fest is a must-see event unlike any festival anywhere in the world this summer.

This week we begin exploring "Vysteria," the fourth 7" standalone single released by Night Demon in 2020 and a featured track on the new Year of the Demon compilation album. At the outset, the band members explain how this really isn't a pandemic song and how it's really about self-empowerment in the face of media manipulation and hysteria, all set against the backdrop of the COVID-19 pandemic. You will learn the surprising origins and dictionary definition of the term "vysteria." Then we get into the musical genesis of the song, beginning with a jam tape dating back to August 2019 and carrying through multiple permutations and incarnations until March 2020. The guys explain how and why the song evolved over time. They also talk about whether they consider "Vysteria" to be the heaviest song in the Night Demon catalog, as well as its connection to thrash metal and how challenging it is to play. Become a subscriber today at nightdemon.net/subscriber.

Welcome to Season 12! We open things up with the wicked mastermind known as Athenar, the creator of black metal outfit, Midnight. Quite the year on the eve of his 20th anniversary – As Athenar graces the cover of the newest Decibel Magazine edition, he sits with us to describe his journey and the hard work manifested upon the release of his newest album, “Let There Be Witchery”. It's Midnight's 5th album and it feels as if the best chapter of the band's career has kicked off, especially at the tail end of a 2-year-long pandemic. Athenar is more than ready to take his wild antics on the road to put on a tour to remember, so be sure to catch him on the road this Spring as he treks North America alongside fellow black metal legends Mayhem. As another legend in the making in Midnight lurks in the shadows, 2022 is the year to take the band all in. Between the sounds of black, speed metal, dirty punk rock atmospheres, and traditional elements paying homage to the early years, “Let There Be Witchery” is a fresh take on the genre that we all need to hear. Tune in now and be sure to pick up the newest offering from Midnight, out now worldwide via Metal Blade Records.Stay connected with Midnight, visit: https://www.metalblade.com/europe/artists/midnight/, https://www.facebook.com/midnightviolators, and https://www.instagram.com/midnightviolators/Stay connected with IUF, visit: https://interviewunderfire.com/

The Razor's Edge - Interview! https://therazorsedge.rocks Blackened speed metal outfit Midnight released their fifth studio album last week. Ewan caught up with band mastermind Athenar to delve deeper into the dark world of Midnight.

Freude ist in jenen Tagen eine Sache, über die zu sprechen man sehr vorsichtig sein sollte, aber hinter der allgemeinen Betroffenheit ist sie am Ende dann doch notwendig, um in der von uns allen angeranzten Welt auch nur halbwegs klarzukommen. Eines dieser Alben, die einfach nur Spaß machen, weil sie in letzter Konsequent purer Rock n Roll sind, ist Let there be Witchery von Midnight, dem Einmann-Projekt von Jamie Walters aka Athenar aus Cleveland. Längst kein Unbekannter mehr, gelingt es ihm, das Flair alter Rumpelkapellen wie Venom in die heutige Zeit zu transportieren und dennoch unverkennbar seine eigene Handschrift zu hinterlassen, auch wenn er selbst der Meinung ist, dass seine Songs im Grunde nur Venom-Cover sind.

Athenar is the man behind the mystery of Midnight - a Cleveland based heavy metal machine that is releasing their album "Let there be Witchery" March 4th on Metal Blade Records. I spoke with Athenar about rejecting smart phones and social media, Cleveland heavy metal history, the roots of Midnight, writing four albums during the pandemic and much more. This was a really fun one. Check out the new album by Midnight - "Let There Be Witchery" here

This week we bring you part 3 of our ongoing exploration of the Heavy Metal Mixtape limited edition cassette released on Night Demon Records in October 2015. The guys reflect on the lost art of making mixtapes and taking the listener on a journey through painstaking song selection, sequencing, flow and sound clips, in a way that today's streaming playlists simply cannot replicate. You'll hear about a pair of movie soundclips included on the Mixtape. And the song contributions of Walpyrgus, Hirax, Midnight and Satan's Hallow are discussed in detail.  For each track, you'll hear from a member of the contributing band talking about the significance of compilations/mixtapes, telling the history of the band, and sharing inside info on the song in question. Jarvis explains why each song was chosen and describes any links between Night Demon and that band.Become a subscriber today at nightdemon.net/subscriber.

Midnight mastermind Athenar is our guest this week. We discuss the band's new album, Rebirth by Blasphemy, and how it fits into Midnight's history starting with the band's early seven-inches, as well as the difficulty of writing lyrics in the bizarre realm of metal, if he would ever create a record with other musicians or if he always plans to maintain full creative control, and the importance of the visual aspect behind Midnight. Athenar also tells us a bit about his personal life, explaining how a Cleveland native became a fan of his hometowns rival Pittsburgh Steelers, the charm of Cleveland's negative attitude, his lifelong passion for record collecting, the possibility of a four-year-old being a tour manager for Midnight, what instruments he learned to play as a child himself, and the joy that comes with temporarily losing his cell phone. Petar, Brandon and Jozalyn discuss the passing of legendary Rush drummer Neil Peart, the legacy of what he did for drummers everywhere, and the art that Rush left behind for the world. We also mourn the passing of Black Breath's Elijah Nelson, and we talk about Lorna Shore's decision to release their album with the vocals of fired and disgraced frontman CJ McCreery. Songs: Rush - “Ceiling Unlimited," Midnight - “Fucking Speed and Darkness” and “Rising Scum”

Jernverkets intervju med Midnight begynner å bli noen år gammelt, nærmere bestemt seks sådanne, men historiene deres går aldri av moten. Ville de ha byttet publikum med Justin Bieber? Hvorfor gir de ut så mange samliser, splitter og demoer? Hvor bra er egentlig Ted Nugent? Hva skjedde da ei dame klatret opp på trommesettet deres under en konsert i Tyskland (video)? Midnight spiller på Keep it True og rundt i Europa nå i april. I august kommer de tilbake for å opptre på Beyond the Gates.
